Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
I was shocked this morning to read of the recent death of Ben Keeter,
older son of the late Ben Keeter, Class of
1956.He passed away suddenly in
Jacksonville, Florida on
Saturday, April 2, 2010 at the age of 48.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Bonnie Westbrook of Jacksonville, Fla.;
his mother, Gloria Keeter Leinart and her husband, Bill, of Franklin; son, Brett
C. Keeter of Jacksonville, Fla.; two daughters, Brianna N. Keeter of
Jacksonville, Fla., and Jane Pruitt of Williamsburg; a stepson, Brandon
Westbrook; and a brother, James D. Keeter, both of Jacksonville, Fla.

He was predeceased by his father, Benjamin James Keeter Jr.

A memorial service was held in
Florida.

Ben Keeter

The family requests that memorials
be made in memory of Ben to Gloria Leinart, 10 Crescent Dr., Franklin, VA 23851,
for an education fund for his children.

So saddened by the news of
Ben's passing. He was always so funny and down to earth with a great
attitude. Richard and I will cherish the wonderful memories and crazy
stories with Ben. He will be missed.
